Please, Forgive Me

I did something today that I am not proud of. Once or perhaps even a few times in everyone’s life, circumstances are such that there are few options and so . . . each of us may be forced to do something that under ordinary circumstances we would not usually consider, and if our kids did the same thing they would certainly need some significant parental education! Often we might try to conceal these embarrassing acts, and certainly we do not go out of our way to tell friends or family that we have strayed from the straight and narrow, but I have decided that “honesty, etc.”Today I watched MSNBC! Mea culpa! I am told that catharsis is good for the soul, so here goes: While I am not trying to make excuses, please let me explain. I was at the gym and got on a treadmill while there was a commercial on the T.V. directly in front of me. When the commercial was over, I was well into my short workout and on the T.V. directly in front of me was MSNBC! Against my better judgement I did not change to a different treadmill. For the record, I am not proud of my actions, perhaps more precisely, my inaction.I exercised and thus watched MSNBC for 20 minutes total. Not once during the “discussion” on three different subjects was anything remotely positive said about our President. Panelists were from The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Move-On.org. and they were especially brutal and insensitive when referencing Mr. Trump’s insensitivity! For me today’s workout was very painful! However I have learned an important lesson, and will not in the future let myself be coerced into doing something that I would not want others to know about.Please forgive me!

P.S. Since that traumatic day, I have discovered the treadmill that is directly in front of the T.V. that is tuned into Fox News . . . whew!
